    Consider this…pythons were introduced to the Everglades by idiots throwing their pets away. A few years ago a python ŵas found dead from trying to swallow the alligator it killed. Alligators are no longer the apex predator in the Everglades.

        No big cats. The Florida panther is almost extinct and lives in grasslands not swamp. Besides, if I had to bet, I’d put money on the gator…or python now.

      Still apex if it can take out a python.

      Guessing the snek underestimated how long a gator holds its breath while being squeezed. Gator then clawed it’s way partially out.

      Ok let’s call it a tie.

        Anywhere there is water, and lorida has a lot of water, there is a potential for alligators. Central Florida has a big population of gators. Its only a matter of time.when their predator will come to meet them.
